Keith Chandler : Inks were formerly credited to Joe Giella, but these are too strongly delineated, and I suggest Sy Barry as inker.

"To the people of the 30th century..."

Story Notes

Writer and art credits confirmed from Julius Schwartz's editorial records, provided by DC Comics. Keith Chandler : Despite the Schwartz credits, as with the cover, these inks are too strong for Giella, and I suggest either Frank Giacoia or Sy Barry.
